(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Band has allmusic.com guide entry. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/my-revenge-p657423. To characterize band as a "local band" shows wilful ignorance of content of article and facts. Multiple albums. Characterizing them as local band likely shows bias. Question as to abusive editing by Mike Wazowski in violation of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism and also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Harassment and especially - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Harassment. User MikeWazowski also violated wikipedia standard by a retaliatory nomination fo deletion. User may know subject article creator and have personal bias also in violation of wikipedia standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vermont Hardcore Punk (talk • contribs) 19:39, 27 January 2012 (UTC) Vermont Hardcore Punk (talk) 19:43, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Local band of questionable notability. Provided references are all primary sources or fanzines. Due to common name, Google search results are problematic - however, adding the modifier "My Revenge" "Spencer Crispe" (Crispe is the lead singer, and is also editing the article) Google news shows only one result from a local paper - a standard search shows a lot of primary sources, social media, sales links, directory listings, and unreliable sources, but no significant coverage found from independent reliable sources.

I worked for Big Heavy World www.bigheavyworld.com in Burlington, Vermont. Big Heavy World is the Vermont Music Library and Shop. It is the largest archival collection of Vermont-based music in the state. I am a Vermont underground music historian, and also quite knowledgeable about this band, Vermont venues, Vermont music history, particularly focusing on the past 30 years. I am working to chronicle notable Vermont encyclopedia-worthy artists in Wikipedia as a volunteer. Not a local band - Band is a national and international touring act for a full decade. Moreover, band is a professionally published band on a widely distributed record label www.thorprecords.com. Furthermore, numerous bands on this record label have Wikipedia entires - See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madball; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_for_Blood; and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheer_Terror These are just a few of the bands on the same record label, also with Wikipedia articles. Additionally, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Static_Age This is a notable band also from Vermont, similar stature, no maintenance tags. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_(band) - This article has citations which are not questioned nor maintenance templates, and it is consistent with numerous other Entries. My Revenge is also notable as being the first punk and underground band from Vermont to tour internationally. If you look at history of page - Spencer Crispe was involved for ease of copyright in obtaining image uploads. Sources are characterized as reliable and found within innumerable other Wikipedia entires - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_(band) Did google searching before creating article and found band toured in Nova Scotia, Mexico, United Kingdom, and Japan. Meets and exceeds Wikipedia notability standards. Vermont Hardcore Punk (talk) 23:32, 26 January 2012 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]

Delete per lack of notability. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 00:48, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The issue is the lack of substantial source material which is both independent and reliable. --Jayron32 05:01, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete does not meet notability guidelines for bands. Sources quoted are not reliable and / or independent. QU ^TalkQu 19:47, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
